When James Potter answers a mysterious ad in his local coffee shop, the last thing he expects is to be thrown into a world of white collar crime, but how can he resist when the mastermind behind the operation has dark hair and brooding eyes and promises wealth beyond James' wildest imagination? He would do anything for that boy named after a star, including stealing millions of dollars of fine art.

Regulus Black was fifteen the first time his name was called at a reaping. He's twenty\-five when it happens to him again. A lot has changed in that time, and one of them is that he's ready to do whatever it takes to make it home. Nothing or no one will stop him, not even James Potter. James Potter has no plans to stop Regulus Black from making it home. In fact, his plans revolve around the opposite. He has his reasons, but he's made his choice to get Regulus out of the arena, even knowing it'll be the last thing he ever does. Sirius Black was sixteen when he volunteered to take his little brother's place in the arena. At twenty\-six, without the option to do it again, he has no choice but to be a mentor to his brother and best friend, knowing that only one of them can make it back out. Two names called, a mentor on the verge of falling apart, and more secrets and grief between all of them than they know how to handle. None of them are prepared for what comes next, or how far they'll go to make it through.

Regulus hates his brother—this is fact—and as his best friend, Remus would never betray him by falling in love with aforementioned brother. Sirius hates his entire family—this is also fact—and as his best friend, James would never betray him by falling in love with a member of it. The problem is, none of them are even aware that it's happening.

Pretty, straight boys will tease, and they will tangle you all up with feelings you can't even describe; they will give you hope the way you give them an in inch and they take a mile; they will twist you around their fingers just to see you dance, just for the entertainment, just because they're bored; they will like you, and like you, and like you so much as a person, like being around you and how good you make them feel and the power it grants them to make you feel in return; but they will not fall in love. In all of that, through all of that, they do not fall in love. (Or, the one where Regulus flirts a little too close to the sun and loves getting burned.) 54,788 words

Kill Your Darlings: To remove or refrain from using something in spite of one's affection for it Years after Regulus loses his brother they're reunited, and as he struggles to figure out where he fits in Sirius' life he also struggles not to get lost in the impossible feelings he has for Sirius' best friend.

Regulus Black, presumed dead for over 2 years, shows up at an Order of the Phoenix meeting with 6 mangled horcruxes and Voldemort's corpse. How does the wizarding world move on following the abrupt end of the war, and how does Regulus come to terms with the last four years of his life? Not on his own evidently, as his brother makes an effort to return to his life, James Potter tries to weasel his way into his heart and the friends he left behind in the name of the war aren't willing to leave him alone any longer.

“They’re… chaos,” Remus said firmly. “And chaos is—” “Rock and roll.” He looked at Sirius sharply, and for once, matched his grin. “Yeah.” “Maybe that’s my excuse then,” Sirius said. “I cause a bit of chaos now, and maybe one day, it’ll turn into rock and roll.” After losing his mother at age eleven, Remus has spent the better part of the last four years bouncing from school to school or else running around London and pretending as though he wasn't the kind of well-bred boy his father brought him up to be. Now, with his chances all run out, Remus is sent to Hawkings Independent School as a last-ditch effort to clean up his act. There he meets the very people who will set up the rest of his life, and is forced to confront the pieces of himself he'd long thought had been lost.

James doesn't know why Regulus hates him. Regulus doesn't know why James likes him. They never expect to find out, but when they do, it changes everything.

Regulus Black is angry. He wants revenge. He wants to watch the world burn for all it's done to him. He also wants to make out with James Potter, but that's a secret he'll take to the grave. Vengeance is more important than... whatever it is that chokes him when he lays eyes on Potter. James Potter is confused, because Regulus Black is, all of a sudden, hot. And it's unfair because Sirius is going to kill him if he doesn't get his impulse control in line. OR A fic about two idiots falling in love (x2 because there's wolfstar, too) during a war, and the sacrifices they'll have to make to survive it. Words: 645,538; Online converter: 1435 pages

When Remus can't sleep and heads to the familiar laundrette down the road at 3AM for the noise and comfortable sofas, he's certainly not expecting to have to comfort a beautiful black haired boy having a breakdown over a red glove in his white washing - but he does. He's not expecting to fall into sickening, life-ruining love with him, either, but that happens as well.

Remus works for the Gryffindor Lions as a physical trainer, and has been half in love with Sirius Black, the Lions' heartthrob captain, for a while now, but he never expected Sirius to return the feelings. Read if you like cute nicknames, slow burn, and pining. Yep. That's it.
